I need a remote humidistat to control an existing window mounted bathroom fan. Googling the group brings up a suggestion from John Rumm of:

"A general search was not successful being deluged by references to integral humidistats. The only other option I have so far come across is the Xpelair XRH.
Both these options seem rather expensive for what they do so are there any cheaper reliable items out there that I have missed or do I bite the bullet and follow Johns suggestion?
Sorry. I have no idea how that came about. It is not even an item I looked at. I thought I had just copied and pasted the link from Johns original post. The item in question is in fact the one Jon has now put forward.
The live supply to the fan is split and should be connected to terminals '1' (live) and '2' (live out). As there is no neutral connection the actual operation must be mechanical so does it really matter if the live and the switched live are transposed or indeed am I being obtuse in seeing a potential problem?
I suspect that there has been a minor redesign which turned the internal module upside down but hold it the right way up and the terminals are on the wrong surface at the wrong end with the order reversed.
The terminals require crimped connectors which are supplied but I am not sure the cheap crimping tool I have is up to the task so any suggestions for a tool that would work, that is available over the Internet and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
